Elizabeth Ames Hall 
      American writer (b. Oct. 7, 1913, New York, N.Y.—d. Jan. 15, 2005, Rye, N.Y.), was a best-selling novelist in the 1940s who transformed herself into a critic, social historian, and feminist. Her popular novels included The Walsh Girls (1943), Daisy Kenyon (1945), and Leaving Home (1953). Janeway increasingly focused on writing book reviews for the New York Times and other newspapers. In the 1970s she began publishing nonfiction books with feminist themes, among them Man's World, Woman's Place: A Study of Social Mythology (1971) and Powers of the Weak (1980). Janeway served as president of the Authors Guild (1965–69) and as a judge for the National Book Awards and the Pulitzer Prize.
